What does it take to get to the mid/top tier of figure skating? I'm thinking the skaters who are getting Grand Prix invites but not necessarily skating in the final group at international competitions. More specifically, how much of it is natural talent and how much is having a good coach/being privileged enough or being supported by your fed enough to train more intensely. I'm asking this because it seems like there are quite a few skaters from small federations who could have so much potential if they had luckier circumstances.
